ICOPS will begin their ride on July 15th from
Alton riding through Central Illinois arriving in Chicago on July
18. These riders are honoring those comrades lost in the line of
duty as well as fundraising to support their families. Here is an
excerpt from their website explaining their mission:
The Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors is a non-profit
organization, which provides resources to assist in the rebuilding
of the lives of surviving families of law enforcement officers
killed in the line-of-duty as determined by Federal criteria.
Illinois C.O.P.S. provides emotional and financial support as well
as legal assistance to survivors of fallen officers.
Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors responds after line-of-duty
deaths to support the surviving family members. We offer support as long as
needed to all survivors. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a
years, support is just a phone call away.
